Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0015176A1] 1. A wheeled vehicle of the type comprising a chassis having at least two parts (1-2, 31-32) which are articulated to each other along the length of the vehicle, a set of wheels (3, 33) of the forward part being steering means, and the two parts being each provided with at least one set of wheels (4-5, 34-35) which may be driving wheels, a motor-transmission unit (9-10-11-12-13 ; 9-17a-17b, 39-40-41-42-43-44) of the vehicle being connected for this purpose to these two sets of wheels (4-5, 34-35), a part (13, 17b, 43) of said motor-transmission unit which is connected to the front driving set of wheels (4, 34) being associated with means (18, 48) for controlling said part of the motor-transmission unit, said means (18, 48) for controlling the part (13, 17b, 43) of the motor-transmission unit which is connected to the front driving set of wheels comprising control means with a threshold element (23, 49) for bringing said part (13, 17b, 43) of the motor-transmission unit into action, characterized in that the threshold element (23, 49) comprises a detector of the transverse component (F2PR) of the vehicle driving force transmitted through the articulation (6, 36) of the vehicle to the front part (1, 31) of the latter, and the said control means (18, 48) being the said part (13, 17b, 43) of the motor-transmission unit when the value of the transverse component (F2PR) tends to pass a threshold value and in that the transverse component (F2PR) is defined by the relation : EPDILON Pf1 .a/c in which EPSILON represents the sum of the products of the type Pf1 .a taken for each one of the sets of wheels (3, 4, 34, 35) of the front part (1, 31) of the vehicle, Pf1 is the lateral resistance to skidding of the set of wheels considered, a is the distance between the point of application of this resistance and the centre of gravity (G) of the front part (1, 31) and c the distance between the articulation (6, 36) of the vehicle and said centre of gravity (G).
